The Commanding Heights
The Commanding Heights: The Battle for the World Economy
Daniel Yergin, with co-author Joseph Stanislaw, presents an incisive narrative of risks and opportunities that emerge as the balance of power shifts around the world between governments and markets—and the battle over globalization comes front and center. A visionary book, that gives context to the modern era of globalization and world markets. The Commanding Heights is vital for understanding the struggle over the “new rules of the game” for the twenty-first century – and how they came about.
